Overview

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV WT Max Range is the long-legged workhorse of the electric truck world, built for those who need serious utility without the gas pump. Its main calling card is a colossal battery delivering incredible range, wrapped in a no-nonsense package. It redefines what a fleet or trades vehicle can be, blending immense capability with electric torque. With a new price of $76,295 and used models estimated around $63,220, it’s a heavy-duty investment in an all-electric future, promising to get the job done, no matter the distance.

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the Silverado EV story is all about expansion and future-proofing. Following the initial launch, the WT (Work Truck) trims are now more widely available, bringing this massive range to a broader commercial and private audience. The most significant update for new 2025 models is the planned switch to the NACS (Tesla) charge port from the factory. This move grants direct access to the vast Tesla Supercharger network, massively boosting charging convenience and making it one of the best-connected trucks on the road for long hauls.

Design & Exterior

The Silverado EV WT boasts a look that's both futuristic and familiar. It ditches a traditional grille for a sleek, aerodynamic front end, but its overall presence is pure, unadulterated truck. Measuring a substantial 233.1 inches long, 85.2 inches wide, and 78 inches tall, it has an imposing stance. The WT trim keeps things functional with durable black trim and simpler wheel designs, emphasizing its role as a tool rather than a toy. This unibody construction, part of GM's Ultium platform, cleverly integrates the battery for a revolutionary design.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the WT is all business. The five-seat cabin features durable, easy-to-clean vinyl and plastics designed to withstand the rigors of a worksite. While it skips the lavishness of higher trims, it’s not spartan. You get a modern digital instrument cluster and a respectable infotainment screen with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For hauling, it’s a champion. The bed offers 57.7 cubic feet of space, and the game-changing "eTrunk"—a 10.7 cubic foot weather-sealed frunk—provides secure storage for tools or gear.

Performance & Driving Experience

Don't let the "Work Truck" name fool you; this rig can hustle. Its dual-motor All-Wheel Drive system, powered by front and rear permanent magnet motors, churns out a hefty 510 horsepower and 580 lb-ft of instant torque. That’s enough to launch this 8,532-pound beast from 0-60 mph in just 6.2 seconds. On the road, the ride is surprisingly smooth thanks to its advanced platform and independent suspension. Plus, with a max towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, it has the muscle to back up its tough looks.

Range, Battery & Charging

This is where the Silverado EV WT truly dominates. It packs a massive 205 kWh usable battery, delivering a Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range estimate of 468 miles on a single charge, with an efficiency of 2.28 mi/kWh. Its 800V architecture enables mind-blowingly fast charging speeds of up to 350 kW at a DC fast charger. At home or on-site, the standard 19.2 kW AC onboard charger is a beast. The truck features a CCS Type 1 port, with NACS coming, and its PowerBase system can export power to run tools and equipment.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

While official NHTSA safety ratings are still pending, Chevrolet equips the Silverado EV WT with a robust set of standard safety features. Every truck comes with the Chevy Safety Assist suite, which includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams. This standard package provides a crucial layer of protection, whether navigating a busy city street or cruising on the highway, making it a reassuringly safe vehicle right from the base trim.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Chevy backs the Silverado EV with a solid warranty, providing confidence for long-term ownership. It includes a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty. More importantly, the critical electric propulsion components, including the massive Ultium battery pack, are covered for an impressive 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. This comprehensive coverage ensures peace of mind, protecting your investment in this cutting-edge workhorse. Chevrolet also typically includes the first scheduled maintenance visit free of charge.
